My apologies. I was taking care of more than one problem at the same
time when I responded to you and gave you the wrong URL. Here is the one
I should have posted. The site has both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions
of Gears that work with Firefox 3.6 compiled into .xpi files. Just
install like you would a regular Firefox extension. I use the 32 bit
version myself with no problem (these were compiled by someone else in
this group):
http://gears64.org/build/05340/3417
Again, sorry for the mix up.

Thanks for responding.
The page you are referring to clearly states it is not for Linux.
As you may have noted I run the kubuntu distribution.
So this one will not work.

Sweatshirt - This version off the Mozilla Add-ons site works for Firefox
3.6, both standard and portable versions. The official version from the
Google Gears site should work okay for 3.5.8.

Once Gears is installed, check it out to make sure it's working ( make
sure you get a dialog box when clicking on "Tools/Gears Settings", etc).
If it is, which it should be, you can ignore the error message you
referenced in your message. It's a minor compatibility checking glitch
in the Gears coding and actually means nothing.

From AdWords Google advised me to install gears.
Tested config:
- kubuntu 9.10 (karmic)
- Firefox-3.5.8
- Firefox-3.6
Tested gears:
- from download site: gears-linux-opt.xpi
- from suggestion in discussion group: gears-linux-x86_64-
opt-0.5.34.0.xpi
Description:
Whatever combination of FF and gears i get the same error on
installation:
incompatible extension:
... not compatible with your Firefox build type (Linux_x86-gcc3) ....
How can this be made to work?
Thanks
